EXOHOST Building Excellence in Spectral Characterisation of Exoplanet Hosts and Other Stars

Coordinator: TARTU ULIKOOL (EE)

Planetary systems around other stars (exoplanets) and their diversity are the highest-profile topic in Galactic astronomy, with broad public interest that further translates into motivation for students to enter STEM fields. The number of known exoplanets has grown to nearly 5000 and may soon grow to a total of 20000 or more. With the UCL-led Ariel mission, the European Space Agency aims to take the lead in measuring the composition of a large sample of exoplanets, and the James Webb Space Telescope is also expected to study dozens of planets. In contrast, the characterisation of the stars th…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €1.2M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 3 years from 2023-01-01 to 2025-12-31.
